Observer
Name Kyla W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have seen shooting stars before. There streak across and then just disappear overhead as if they burned out, but this was NOTHING like that. This object was LARGE, extremely bright, and moving very fast compared to the speed of an airplane. I have never ever seen anything like this. My husband and I were in awe of this spectacular event. After checking Facebook, I noticed others in the area saw this as well. Amazing.... Just an amazing sight.
